Description

The former stables at Eagle and Child Cottage date from the late 18th century, with 19th-century additions and 20th-century alterations. They are constructed of washed English garden wall bond red brick and feature a Kerridge stone-slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two stories high with a three-bay north front. The left end bay projects under a gable and includes a two-light chamfered stone mullion window below and an elliptical pitch hole above. There are lines of diamond pattern ventilation holes. To the right, there are two doors with heavy wooden lintels and a pitch hole above. Inside, some wooden stable stalls remain, along with cobbled and brick floors that have open drains. The ceiling features exposed sawn pine beams. The stables were likely built when the cottage was converted into an inn. The building is listed for its group value only.
